Prime Meats Takes Home the Gold

I reported last year that Prime Meats, the Carroll Gardens bar and restaurant, had achieved the strange distinction of selling more of the teeny tiny German bitters Underberg than any other establishment in the U.S. At the time, they served the herbal, after-dinner digestif out of specialized, long-stemmed glasses provided by the German makers of the elixir.

Well, Prime Meats has graduated to the big time now. They've sold so much Underberg that the company has rewarded them with a set of gold, long-stemmed glasses. (Not real gold; just gold colored, and metal.) Neat! And totally weird.
